The most reckless/foolish thing you have ever done?

Sorry, nobody's figured out how to go back and reload that one...

You're absolutely right. Once you add the kids mod (x2) and the house mod, there's no rollback option.

I had a rough day yesterday... Early 41' in a VIIB waiting at about 25m for the convoy to run over the top of me... Screen runs by, I come to Peri, pop it up, and the large merchant INSTANTLY sees me. I get the Black Swan with my stern tube, take a little from a DC, go to 160m, and the C&D proceeds to sit above me for more than 12 hours. You see, I have an air compressor leak, and he didn't need sonar to know where I was. So, running out of O2 and batteries, I'm forced to surface and face her with my deck gun. I lost 10 crew members. But, I did make it back to Brest.

Perhaps not foolish, due to the lack of choice in the matter, but definitely reckless. Rough day...

Rough day indeed, but at least you made it back to fight another day.

Cruising around in a type IX for the first time, in the warm south Atlantic. Come across a British convoy escorted by 4 flower class corvettes. Anxious to try out my new big gun, and feeling blood thirsty, I snuck up on the rear of the convoy, surfaced about 4,000 meters from the rear escort, and engage.
My first (fluke) shell crashed through his bridge, the second took out his props and the third blew up his rear battery. By this point, the others had turned around and were rushing to get my attention so I dived, dodged their attentions for an hour or so and they gave up.

Feeling cheeky, I circled around and did it again. To the Front escort. Charged straight at him, ahead flank, presenting as narrow a profile as I could and engaging again out to about 4,500 meters or so. Crash dive at 1,000 by which time his poor little boat was literally digging into the water from severe flooding at her fore, and the other two corvettes were REALLY pissed off.

2 hours later, they give up, and I surface to see a lot of debris and a few scattered lifeboats from the last corvette.

I proceeded to eliminate the final two corvettes in almost the same fashion, and then chew up my entire torpedo load gutting the convoy before I decided I'd had enough fun.

Damage: 1 crewman injured, 1 dead, a small hole in the bridge and some scratched paintwork.

I don't know who taught those brits to shoot. They didn't do a very good job :P

This was GWX as well

Level you're playing at? Mods? Sounds awfully gamey to me.

Afraid so

Well, there's always the "I've had enough of Windows and I'm going to change to Ubuntu" -option, but then one can't play all the games that one could play with Windows and the need to learn what makes that new operating system tick.
